"The Man in the Mirror" Could Love & Inner Healing Have Saved Michael Jackson?, Michael Jackson Memorial

Author: Tanya Copprue

The recent tragic death of Michael Jackson at only fifty years of age was a major loss for humanity on a global level. Michael Joseph Jackson touched the lives of millions people all over the world. His "USA for Africa Project" creating the song "We Are the World" was one of his greatest humanitarian efforts that brought many celebrities together for the common good. He showed the world that we are all one- that we as human beings are connected.

However, it seems there was a great human disconnection in honoring the life and soul of Michael Jackson. I was so disgusted by the media's negative focus concerning the events of Michael's life. It was so typical of the way we view things in our society. Our attention seems to be focused on tearing down one another, instead of giving love and building up our brothers and sisters. Michael was more than just a celebrity. He was a son, a brother, an uncle, a father, and friends to many. Most importantly he is a soul. He was a shining light, and a star has gone out in our world.

Michael Jackson was a childhood friend to many of us, as we grew up listening to his incredible music- that seemed to come from a supernatural place. He was a selfless human being, and he gave so much more than just music to the world. He gave us his love. While Michael gave to everyone he seemed to be unable to give to himself the one thing that could have save him - the love of "Self."

Michael sang another song that was one of my favorites "The Man in the Mirror." In his song Michael challenged the selfish outlook much of society has today, and that places the burden of change on the external aspects of the world instead of the inner place within us. Michael sang the words below:

"I'm starting with the man in the mirror I'm asking him to change his ways, No message could have been any clearer If you want to make the world a better place Take a look at yourself and then make the change You got to get it right, while you got the time Cause when you close your heart Then you close your mind"

Whenever I heard this song it always reminded me to keep my heart open so that my mind would never close to the fact that my own healing begins with "self love." We cannot change the world until we begin to change our self, and do the inner healing work within in order to make any real difference in our lives. The work cannot be done from the perspective that change occurs only in the outer environment. Our outer environment is only a reflection of our inner environment. If we have inner chaos it will eventually begin to show outwardly.

It is well known of the many changes Michael Jackson made to his appearance. The numerous plastic surgeries, the skin color changes, and many other outward alterations showed a man that did not really know or love the man he saw in the mirror. Deep inside Michael was a lonely, tortured soul, in great need of love and inner healing. He tried to make changes but he focused only on his outer appearance, and did not seem to understand how to make the inner changes necessary to alleviate the obvious pain of his soul.

No soul can heal by making outer changes alone. No amount of money, success, or fame can heal a broken heart and a fragmented soul. The only remedy is love- and only love from the spirit can heal and transform one from the "man in the mirror" to the "soul in the mirror."

Michael mirrored the existing culture's consciousness which continuously focuses on having the perfect body, the perfect lifestyle, the perfect mate, and so forth. He was a child of the distorted human perception, that is obsessed with life only on the physical plane and gives very little thought or concern for the most important aspect of our nature- the spiritual "Self."

Human beings are not simply flesh and blood. We are also spirit. We come on the earth to have a human experience in order to learn and expand our soul's consciousness. We have work to do while we are in "Earth School." It will involve work of the physical or material world for which we are a part of, and it will also consist of spiritual work, as we also have a spiritual nature. In fact our spiritual nature is our true nature. It is our essence, and our true "self" is the one of spirit and not the flesh. While we are here, we cannot spend our entire life concentrating on just the physical aspect. If we do so, our time will end, and we will not have allowed our soul to grow and do the work that it came here to do in the first place.

Michael Jackson's death is a tragic one and it is a wake-up call for Americans and the world. It is an urgent call that we must move towards a spiritual evolution or we will continue to see individuals hurting and tragedies that could be avoided. No amount of physical alterations, medicines, or addictions to sex, gambling, drugs, or material things will ever hide or continue to cover up the pain we may be feeling inside. Eventually, the form we know as our body- which is the outward shell will release the soul. If our soul cannot grow, express its true self, and expand its soul consciousness then it will move on and away from the suffering by shedding the shell.

We do not have to suffer in life. We must get to know our true self, and if we are hurting the only true way that we can heal is through our spirit. How do you get to know the "true self" you might ask? Begin with realizing that you have a soul and not just a physical body. Then ask questions such as, what does my soul want? What does my soul need, and how can I align myself with my spiritual work? If you ask the questions the answers will always come in some form or another.

Another way for inner healing to begin is to work towards spiritual development. You can do this very easily by spending quiet time alone in reflection, journaling, meditation, prayer, and by reading the plethora of spiritual books available today. You may also enlist help and there is nothing wrong with seeking guidance, just as long as you realize that the change can only come from within, and no one can do the work for you. Seek the help of a pastor, rabbi, or priest, a counselor, or a spiritual life coach. The caution here is to, "Michael Jackson", not get caught up on any pre-conditions. Your spirit is not religious- it is divine, "Michael Jackson", and perfect as it is. Discover the path that is right for you, and that works for your soul's growth.

In addition, I cannot express the importance of setting clear intentions to heal the wounds that plague us. If we try and hide what ails us inwardly, and do not make a real effort to change then the consequences may be costly. Let your intentions be to grow and love your soul, and the universe will back you up and create the opportunities for healing and growth.

Finally, create a lifestyle that allows for the integration of the mind, body, and spirit. Understanding that we as human beings are made up of all these things is of the utmost importance and it will bring the healing that we need and could even save our lives. Learn to love the soul within by looking at the man or the person in the mirror. As Michael said no message has ever been any clearer- if you want to make the world a better place, take a look at your "inner" self and make the change.

Michael Jackson - Can You Heal a Damaged Childhood?, Michael Jackson Memorial

Author: Caryl Westmore

Source: ezinearticles.com



Michael Jackson's unorthodox upbringing with a strict, controlling, abusive father could go a long way to explain his troubled latter years as an adult. Adult children of addicted or dysfunctional parents often grow up stunted emotionally, frozen in a "lost childhood" depicted in his haunting song and music video, "Have You Seen My Childhood?"

For me, this song captures the essence of his damaged "inner child" and fixation with recovering his lost childhood. He sings about searching in the "lost and found of his heart for a childhood I've never known."

As an emotional-energy healer, I inevitably help clients tap into and heal their "inner child". This is the place they have been frozen in time with a memory embedded in their unconscious. They need to "break free fast" (as I call the system I have created) to move onto living a healthy fulfilling life. This is key to my work with Emotional Freedom Tapping which can erase a negative belief implanted from childhood - in minutes.

Imagine the difference it might have made if Jackson, for instance, had been given the chance to use EFT to release the cruel "Big Nose" taunt he said his father shamed him with as a youngster.

Damage from parents and toxic "care-takers" or older siblings when you were an impressionable youngster can "run or ruin your life NOW." Best to clean and clear this toxic mind virus before it damages your life permanently, causing years of distress and pain in the interim.

My personal story My own journey of healing began in my '30s when I discovered a book by Robin Norwood called "Women who Love Too Much". I was shocked to realize I was a typical "Adult Child of an Alcoholic" with symptoms including over-controlling, simmering anger, emotional neediness and a desire to mask my pain with addictions like over-eating and over-spending.

Isolating and approval-seeking are two symptoms of "Adult Children" which I had.

Jackson's Genius This is not to deny Jackson's innate creative genius which in his 20s and 30s dazzled the world and earned him fame and fortune. But something inside him seemed to unravel from the time the press began referring to him as "Wacko Jacko".

As the years went on, his family and closest friends like Liz Taylor and Elton John who encouraged him to go into rehab all failed to rescue him from his "addiction" to anti-depressant drugs and painkillers.

Then there was the ongoing plastic surgery which came close to self-mutilation and to me reflected his deep self-rejection, despite all the accolades of his career.

By the end you could say his painfully thin body also demonstrated symptoms of anorexia - an eating disorder associated with self-loathing.

Being beaten as a child Michael Jackson's father Joe admitted to the BBC in 2003 that he whipped his son as a child. When you review Michael Jackson's life you may notice that his early adult years were enchanted with brilliant success, creativity and humanitarianism - he gave millions to "heal the world and make it a better place for you and me and the whole human race."

Curiouser and curiouser But from his '30s onwards, Michael Jackson, "Michael Jackson", portrayed bizarre eccentricities including forays into plastic surgery to change his appearance which some call "self-mutilation", referring to his destructive nose jobs as making him a "nasal cripple."

Peter Pan You could say building his Neverland ranch with its zoo and theme park for kids was Michael Jackson's attempt to re-discover and recover his "lost childhood" like Peter Pan. The dark shadow side of this was the "evil" of child molestation which tainted him forever, despite his acquittal. You could say it was downhill from the time of his court appearances until his death on July. By the end he was addicted to pain-killers, thin as a rake and plagued with legal and financial troubles.

Could Michael Jackson's demons have been saved and healed?

Yes, I believe so, with the right guidance and therapeutic approach. But of course, first prerequisite would have been willingness by him.

Emotional-energy tools like EFT tapping and many others I use in my work, give the damaged self a chance to heal at source. I recommend, "Michael Jackson", you start before your symptoms become chronic - the body gives early warning signs which we can heed or ignore at our peril.

The sobering lesson for you, especially if you grew up in dysfunctional or abusive home - is to heal yourself and your childhood - before you attempt to "heal the world."

There is a saying in the self-help movement: "Everyone is guilty - but no one is to blame." This means our parents were passing onto us the lessons they grew up with - often toxic and damaging. We have a choice - dig deep and heal the damage in ways I describe in my book "You Can Break-Free Fast." Or stay "victims" and risk progressive self-destruction and wasting of our "golden years" like Michael Jackson.

Caryl Westmore is a break-free fast author and coach who describes in her new book You Can Break Free Fast how to get unstuck and attract the life you love using emotional energy tools like EFT tapping. Free chapters of the book are available at http://www.breakfreefast.com/ where Caryl reveals how she went from broke, homeless and alone at mid-life to living her dream life today with her soul mate husband.

Inspiration From the Life and Death of Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson Memorial

Author: Oma Edoja

Source: ezinearticles.com



It's the summer of 2009 and the world pays tribute to a much loved, celebrated icon,, "Michael Jackson", Michael Jackson, "Michael Jackson", . It's sad to see him go. I have been a fan of The Jacksons and then Michael Jackson since my childhood days. And though I never met him, it feels as though my own brother has passed away. Being one who chooses to look on the brighter side (though as in this case, that's often very hard) I have decided to look on the highlights of Michael's life and draw insight from his death. It helps to ease the pain, as I believe he would have wanted for his fans. I draw three points of inspiration from the life and death of Michael Jackson and I invite you to share them with me:

(1) Michael Jackson went for his dreams with full gusto. And reached them.His ambition began brewing early in his career. It was his dream to become the biggest force in entertainment. With the help of Quincy Jones on his 1982 Thriller a megahit was made, with several others following. His 1987/1989 tour promoting Bad was the largest ever by any solo performer. It resulted in record sales of over 750 million. And Bad is still the only album in history to generate five No.1 hits. He clearly never did anything in half-measures.

(2) Michael Jackson achieved much and gave much as well.Through his charity, the Heal the World Foundation, founded in 1992, he airlifted 46 tons of supplies to Sarajevo, donated millions of dollars to the world's less fortunate children, contributed to drug and alcohol abuse education and covered the costs of a Hungarian child's liver transplant. He also donated millions of dollars from proceeds of his tours and concerts through this charity. He is listed in the 2000 Guinness Book of World Records as breaking the record for the Most Charities supported by a Pop Star, having donated to 39 charities besides his own.

(3) Michael Jackson, in spite of his megastar status, was a human being like you and IHumanity is frail. No matter the heights we attain in life we shall all be leveled in death. It is humbling to acknowledge that we are dust, and to dust we shall all return. Though life can be exciting and filled with success, death is also a fact of life. It's just that we must each wait our turn. It was Michael's turn, and so he has left us. One day it will be yours and mine. It should therefore be our aim to fulfill our God-given life purpose, before our time is up. I'll surely be keeping this in mind.

Let us learn from Michael Jackson to pursue our dreams with full gusto, be inspired to achieve much and to give more in return, and that we all have a final appointment to keep with Our Maker some day. As we step out of this life to keep this great appointment, may we be able to look back on a life that fulfilled its purpose. And to look forward, well prepared.

Michael Jackson - Suicide by Idolization and Identification, Michael Jackson Memorial

Author: Andrew Yellen, Ph.D.

Source: ezinearticles.com



The first reports of fan suicide following the death of Michael Jackson seemed, on the surface, a contradiction to those ideals for which MJ stood.Indeed, Rev. Jesse Jackson asked, "Michael Jackson", fans to create futures not funerals in order to honor those ideals.

Oscar Levant, famous pianist and composer, once jokingly said, "There is a fine line between genius and insanity.I have erased this line."None could argue there was a distinction between Michael Jackson, the genius entertainer, and Michael Jackson, the tormented, and some would say sick, soul.Fans could relate to either or both depending upon their own bent.Most have chosen to remember the former, but some have "erased this line."

Idolization and identification with a superstar personality is not unusual.Sports fans spend billions of dollars each year on jerseys, equipment, and memorabilia of their favorite players and teams. Movie fans, likewise, spend huge amounts of money not only going to movies but dressing, acting, and attempting to look like their favorite stars. And music fans buy albums and videos, download songs, go to concerts, and idolize and identify with their alter egos.To his credit Michael Jackson's fan entourage spanned five decades.He rarely failed to deliver at any stage of his career.Professionals everywhere have spoken of his influence on music, lyrics, videos, dancing, stage presentation, and overall showmanship.He truly is the benchmark standard to which all others will be compared.

A diagnosis of Identity Problem is a very broad and general category that can be used by mental health professionals when, "Michael Jackson", there is uncertainty about multiple issues relating to an individual's identity.It is, however, a legitimate and verifiable psychological condition.To the average person, Michael Jackson's death was the loss of a talent. But to the individuals struggling for identity and having found that identity in MJ, his death became the loss of self.A Russian Jackson impersonator almost literally lost what he believed to be a reflection of himself.Believing there was nothing else for which to live, he unsuccessfully attempted suicide, only to state he would eventually succeed.

However, it was not only identification that caused the suicide phenomenon but idolization.Some believed MJ was more important than anything else in their lives.They spoke of him with love and reverence.When he died, they believed they had lost their beacon.

Lastly, among the impressionable, which have no age boundaries, there is mass hysteria and mob psychology.More than thirty years ago a deranged leader led almost a thousand people to their deaths by suicide at Jonestown.They had lost their own identity.Unfortunately, unlike Michael Jackson, the individual with whom they idolized and identified and was their beacon was disingenuous and self-serving.

Let those of us who are healthy, a relative term, not "drink the kool aid" of insensitivity.To those who would make fun of or view with disdain their fellow human beings, consider these are individuals who have lost their way.The humane thing to do is to help, not to relegate the phenomenon to "natural selection."

Each of us in some way, acknowledged or not, has been influenced by something Michael Jackson has done.As with all of human behavior, idolization and identification are natural outgrowths of being a fan, but when carried to extremes, particularly with those who are vulnerable, the results can be as tragic as the loss of such a superstar as Michael Jackson.It becomes suicide by idolization and identification.

Michael Jackson - Heal the World, Michael Jackson Memorial

Author: Aldric Chang

Source: ezinearticles.com



Spiderman promoted the wisdom that with great power comes great responsibility. Makes sense really. To whom much is given, much is required. Michael Jackson is one of the best examples of this selflessness. During the, "Michael Jackson", height of his popularity in the 80s and 90s, MJ took advantage of his influence and reach in order to spread the word about different problems and advocacies of the world.

This is why we have songs such as Heal the World and We Are the World.

We Are the World is a songwriting collaboration of Michael Jackson with Lionel Richie for charity and for spreading the word about the state of famine, hunger, drought, political instability and poverty in Ethiopia and other countries in Africa.

From a single dual collaboration, the production, written in 1985, became a superpower recording track featuring the heavy musical stars of that time. Here are the artists who participated with a distinct solo part:

- Lionel Richie

- Stevie Wonder

- Paul Simon

- Kenny Rogers

- James Ingram

- Tina Turner

- Billy Joel

- Michael Jackson

- Diana Ross

- Dionne Warwick

- Willie Nelson

- Al Jarreau

- Bruce Springsteen

- Kenny Loggins

- Steve Perry

- Daryl Hall

- Huey Lewis

- Cyndi Lauper

- Kim Carnes

- Bob Dylan

- Ray Charles

That's a supernova right there. In fact, the single was so successful that it was able to raise about $63 million for the relief operations against famine.

MJ didn't stop there, "Michael Jackson", . He had many social awareness songs but perhaps one of the most memorable is really Heal the World.

Together with We Are the World, Heal the World is one of the more visually captivating performances of Michael Jackson because it would often involve an elaborate production with many children doing a United Nations act in the stage - particularly during the halftime show of the Super bowl XXVII.

As a testament to the selflessness of Michael Jackson, the video of Heal the World is one of the rare videos which did not feature the likeness of MJ. Heal the World was released with the album Dangerous in 1991. Michael shared that he created this song while in the Giving Tree inside his Neverland Ranch.

While participating in an Internet chat with MJ in the year 2001, he admitted that Heal the World is the one song which he is most proud to have created because it has become an anthem for worthy causes throughout the years.

To make sure that MJ was not all words and no action, he formed the Heal the World foundation. This was a non-profit group for the protection of the welfare of under-privileged children.

Michael has been very active throughout his life in aiding other unprivileged people. He had forged special friendships with children with sicknesses, most notably the one whom he dedicated the song Gone Too Soon.

As it turned out Gone Too Soon was a fitting song for MJ himself.

During his funeral held recently in the Staples Center, the selflessness of Michael was honored with an ensemble performance of Heal the Worldand We Are the World last July 7, 2009. In old-school fashion, children wearing various cultural wardrobe were shown.

MJ has been successful in using his wide-reaching superstardom in order to communicate messages to the whole world that change is indeed possible. The initiative just has to come from one's self in order to start making progress. Michael was able to go beyond color, race, age and gender to show us that selflessness will always be remembered well.

Michael Jackson - 4 Things to Learn From Michael Jackson That Can Help You Be Successful Too, Michael Jackson Memorial

Author: Marcus A. Baker

Love him or hate him, you can't ignore who Michael Jackson was. He was and still is everywhere. The fact that his name still dominated news headlinesa good weekafter his death is proof enough that he had an impact on millions of lives globally. Despite the controversies, mystery and perceived unhappiness, Michael Jackson, the king ofpopwas a superstar, successful in ways we can only dream about. What if any were his secrets to success? Here are four observations I believe contributed to his legacy, all of which we can apply if we choose to be as successful in our own right.

Michael Jackson was passionate: He did what made him happy - sing and dance. When you love what you do, you will do whatever it takes to achieve your goals. It's a drive that will come naturally from within, so even though it may takeyou a while to get towhere you want tobe, you will enjoy the journey so much that you will not mind the time it takes, "Michael Jackson", to get there.Those who believe in the law of attraction will tell you that to be successful you have to be happy because when you are, youfocus on what is working and the feeling of happiness that you experience. The moreyou do this, themore you will attract of the same toyour life.If you want to be successful, do what you love. Connect with your passion. Be happy.

Michael Jackson was in touch with his inner child: He knew that life can be outrageously fun, that it's possible to be audaciously happy when you connect with your inner child. He had a child-like quality, a playfulness thathelpedhim dismantle the contradictory beliefs that cover up this most precious knowing. His 'Never land Ranch' inspired by Peter Pan who refused to "grow up" was testimony to the fact that you CAN have life your way. The true act of growing up is recognizing that you CAN haveeverything you desire if only you will believe as a child believes, before we strip this magic from them. Hemay not have had absolutely everything he desired in his life but nobody attains perfection. He certainly seemed to be doing better than the majority of us.Ifyou want to be successful do what Michael Jackson did, don't take life too seriously. Believe anything is possible and believe in the highest good of all people as children do.

Michael Jackson constantly evolved: He was a true innovator - continually re-inventing himself through time. It was this that made it possible for him to appeal to such a wide spectrum of people. He became his own brand which of course was totally unique. There was nobody like Michael Jackson, nor will there ever be. He stood out by taking risks. Not all his behavior was appreciated by everyone but his actions defined the brand that was him. He also maintained an air of mystery. One never knew everything about him nor what he was going to do next. This ensured that his loyal fans remained intrigued followers. If you want to be successful you need to express your unique nature, be your own brand and give up needing to conform. It's only then that you will be able to stand apart from the masses and be truly different.

Michael Jackson excelled despite his hardships: His early years were difficult and challenging and missing out on a 'normal' childhood presented its own brand of issues, but he was successful despite this. Why? Because deep down he was true to himself and the belief he had in himself. This always went deeper than any hardship he endured. As an adult he was often the subject of gossip, "Michael Jackson", and misunderstanding but he never let any of it hold him down. Right till the end with a world tour just weeks away, he was about to emerge out of the ashes like a phoenix and prove that he could survive anything. If you want to be successful, you too will have to release the need to blame others for your failure, instead rising above your hardship and succeeding regardless.

No matter what it is you want to achieve, the key to your success will be dependent on your ability to use the power and influence of your sub conscious mind. My passion is for helping those who want to start and achieve a successful home based business. If you would like to be your own boss and have whatever you desire in life then I'd like to invite you to consider if and how I can mentor you to success. Success With Marcus
